NEW INTERNATIONAL-GRADE HARD COURT SUFACES FOR 2011!

 We have just completed the resurfacing of our hard courts (courts 1-4) in plexicushion.

This is  the same surface as Melbourne's Australian Open surface, and Auckland's ASB Stanley St (home of the women's ASB Classic and mens Heineken Open tournaments.)  We are the first actual tennis club in New Zealand to install this surface, so it is likely to put us in the spotlight for some time. 

Can you think of a better way to mark the 21st anniversary  of Otumoetai Tennis Club's arrival at its current complex and clubhouse in 1990?!

Here are a few photos from the official opening of the courts;
